Der Großvater von Friedrich Merz war zwar kein Muslim, dafür aber Mitglied der SA und NSDAP.

I admit that I completely broke down today. I cried uncontrollably. I couldn’t hold myself together after witnessing what I saw with my own eyes.

Today, we went to film a journalistic report inside the displacement tents along the seashore. I swear, what we witnessed was beyond what any human being should have to endure.

I saw men crying bitterly. Men I had never seen cry when they lost their children or when their homes were destroyed. Today, I saw them crying because they were powerless to do the simplest thing: protect their children from the water and the cold.

We spoke to families who told us they had spent the entire night carrying their children in their arms after floodwater covered the floors of their tents and soaked their mattresses. They couldn’t find a single dry place to put their children. They couldn’t even give them a few hours of sleep.

I saw children no older than five, without proper clothes to protect them from the cold, without heating, and without a dry place to sleep. Children shivering inside tents that cannot keep out the rain, protect them from the wind, or provide even the most basic sense of safety.

What more must happen for this world to act? How much more suffering must people endure before someone remembers that they are human beings?

I am sick of this world. I am sick of its hypocrisy and empty slogans. To hell with a world that talks endlessly about human rights while leaving children to drown inside their tents. To hell with everyone who has witnessed this suffering and chosen silence, and to hell with the governments and institutions that have the power to act but continue to turn their backs on us.

Sadly I would never be able to drink enough free beer to come close to justifying the extortionate train fare.

In this article we discuss the challenges facing the pub sector, the importance of community-owned social infrastructure, & why community ownership shouldn't be viewed as a "too difficult" solution.

Accents: The Black Country (West Midlands)

The Black Country dialect is one of the oldest and most historically preserved speech patterns in England. It is spoken across the industrial region west of Birmingham, covering the metropolitan boroughs of Dudley, Sandwell, Walsall, dialect retains strong roots from Early Middle English and Old English (specifically Mercian English), having largely resisted the Great Vowel Shift that altered speech in other parts of the country. ⏳️ @Britains___Pubs

🚨NEW: After a months-long investigation, we can reveal that a British national who posed in front of a burning school in Gaza fought for Israel and may have participated in war crimes.

Mild. Say the word. You can do it.

Byl to poprask! Vyvolal ho ten, který v 9/1989 objednal inzerát v Rudém právu (vyšel 7. 10.). Blahopřání Ferdinandu Vaňkovi (Václavu Havlovi) k narozeninám. Výtvarník Petr Rýgr (65) z Náchodska uchovává podací lístek, účtenku aj. Tahle poťouchlost, jak sám říká, se mu povedla.

To be clear, the legal obligation on British government to act to prevent genocide does not require it to accept that it is a genocide, it only requires knowledge of a "serious risk" of genocide. To say we'll wait for ICJ decision is a failure to comply with the law.

Why does Glasgow have so few historic pubs, exhibit A.

People protesting against the Palestine Action ban at the Labour conference should have placards with this quote from Ed Miliband:
"Gaza mobilised a whole generation of people, and those people were right, not wrong’'.

I'm sick people saying 'It's more complicated than that'. There's a lot of blinkered wilfully misinformed beer bloggers in publand

I still have memory cards and don’t pay for storage. All my CDs still work. This is on you.

Bardella a eu des propos lamentables en Angleterre.

Il a promis aux fascistes anglais que s'il devenait Premier ministre, il acceptera l'expulsion vers la France des immigrés dont les Anglais ne veulent pas.

Il a prétendu que notre pays était ruiné ! C'est une propagande qui capitalisme à augmenter les taux d'intérêts pour les prêts à la France !

Ce n'est pas la France qui parlait ! C'était un fasciste, méprisable et sans réputation !

Britain did not end slavery. My ancestors in Haiti had ended slavery in 1804, executing all their enslavers and declaring the first Black Republic on the planet.
